hello camcorder knowledgeables, please forgive my ignorance...

i'm thinking about purchasing a mini-camcorder whilst visiting america and wondered whether the device would work in the UK too... i assume it would as it charges vIa USB, so i see no problems with regards to the different power supply.

the two devices i am um-ing and ah-ing over are:

The CREATIVE VADO HD:

The FLIP MINO HD:

Those aren't MiniDV camcorders... (MiniDV is a tape format) and yes those should be fine over here.

Makesure that these units don't record in NTSC mode only, you need it to be PAL for the UK.
